Born in Reggio Calabria in 1882, Umberto Boccioni is considered one of the most important representatives of Futurism. He made a name for himself not only as a painter, but also as a sculptor. This is not surprising; after all, Futurism was concerned with the relationship between object and space. "Development of a bottle in space" consistently implements this idea: the bottle is presented here in a cubistic and three-dimensional manner. The artist does not only focus on the outer shape of the bottle, but shows its interior and a bowl into which the liquid can flow.
Boccioni first studied in Rome and then refined his studies in Milan where he met leading futurists. From 1911 he lived in Paris, which at the time was a melting pot of visual artists, writers and intellectuals. Thus, he not only studied the cubist tendencies of a Picasso, but also theoretical writings. The primacy of dynamics, energy and movement, as well as the rejection of fixed forms and lines, was published in Moscow as the "Technical Manifesto" with Boccioni as author. The paintings "The Forces of a Road" and "Dynamics of a Cyclist" demonstrate the rejection of a recognizable form. Instead, movement, even palpable energy, is created by means of colour tonality and the fanning out of individual shades with round and angular forms.
Boccioni's bronze sculpture "Unique Forms of Continuity in Space" is strong and unmistakable: here, form dynamically conquers space. Nevertheless, Boccioni, who had studied under the Futurists Balla and Severini, created delicate, almost impressionistic portraits such as "Portrait of the Lawyer" or "Portrait of Ferruccio Busoni".
